We obtained the HR support for the supplemental payments from Laurel Moody, HR Supervisor and verified the payments issued were authorized per the PASS contract
Conclusion: In one of three employees tested the additional compensation payments were not adequately supported and authorized.
One employee was overpaid $16,646.35 for performing work of a second evaluation. See

Note 1
Asst Principal recv'd supplemental compensation based on additional hours worked as a second evaluator .
State Law requires a second evaluator be present in the classroom while teachers are on probation.
Ron was asked to evaluate two teachers then submit his time sheets for reimbursement After both evaluations were completed, Ron was paid in one lump sum on 6.20.13.
Ron was paid his daily rate of pay (2011-12, $49.56 per hour; 2012-13, $50.06 per hour). Rons timesheets reflect that he worked 49.5 hours in 2011-12 on the Schimmel and Wiley evaluations.
The total compensation for the work as second evaluator should during SY 2012 should have been $2,453.22.
In 2012-13 his time sheet reflects he worked 17.5 hours on the Wiley evaluation. The total compensation for that period should have been $876.05.
The total payment due to employee for SY 2012 and SY 2013 was $3329.27 and was authorized by Sue Means the HR Supervisor
Due to misreading of paperwork the employee was paid not one time for extra duties but six month $3329.27 per month.
Because HR did not have adequate process in place to assure that only authorized compensation was paid the employee was overpaid $16,646.
We learned later that the employee contacted HR an Payroll trying to explain that he is been overpaid; however, no actions were taken.
